1 Hi Gentoo-users,
2 what an unpleasant surprise awaited me today when I tried to
3 update my systems: gentoo-sources want to be installed everywhere!
4 -------------------
5 # emerge --pretend --update --deep --newuse --verbose world
6
7 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
8
9 Calculating dependencies... done!
10 [ebuild N ] sys-devel/bc-1.06.95 USE="readline -libedit -static"
11 284 kB
12 [ebuild U ] app-admin/eselect-python-20111108 [20100321] 64 kB
13 [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7.10:3.7.10 USE="-build
14 -deblob -symlink" 68,335 kB
15 [ebuild N ] virtual/linux-sources-0 0 kB
16 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 USE="tools zlib -debug -doc -lzma
17 -static-libs" KERNEL="(linux%*)" 0 kB
18
19 Total: 5 packages (1 upgrade, 3 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads:
20 68,682 kB
21 -------------------
22
23 Why in the heavens name should be gentoo-sources pulled in as
24 dependency of whatever? I have 6 nearly identical machines, and
25 use only one for kernel compilation, so why should I now have
26 gentoo-sources on every system? Can I somehow prevent it?
